This image combines three separate radar images from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission taken about two years apart to show change in crops and land cover over time. Unlike images from satellites carrying optical or 'camera-like' instruments, images acquired with imaging radar are interpreted by studying the intensity of the backscatter radar signal, which is related to t...
